Question

the sum of three times a number and 11is 32. find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

Step-byx = 7-step explanation:

Let a number = x

Three times the number = 3x

According to the problem given,

Sum of three times of x and 11 = 32

  3x + 11 = 32

3x = 32 - 11  

 3x = 21  

 x = 21/3 = 7

Therefore,

Required number = x = 7

Answer 2

Let the number be x
Three times=3x
And 11=+11
Total answer =32
3x + 11 = 32. (…+ becomes - after equals to)
3x=32-11
=3x=21. (…* becomes / after equals to sign)
X=21/7
=3
Signs change when they change their sides.
Left hand side of equals to is called as LHS
Right hand side of equals to is called as RHS
Remember to keep the value of Unknown variables to one side either in LHS or RHS
